Image

Scriptures: Proverbs 16:18 – "Pride goes before destruction." Galatians 6:3 – "He deceives himself." Proverbs 11:2 – "With the humble is wisdom." II. Manipulation and Emotional Blackmail Forms: Guilt-based love (“If you loved me, you would…”). Charm masking control. Kindness misread, expectations unspoken.

🛠️ Becoming God's Man: Built for Eternal Impact - (Men's Meeting)

Image
I. Introduction: The Difference Between Male and Man Being born male is biology; becoming a man is destiny. Analogy: A tree is not a forest—it must grow, serve, and provide.

Illustration: The shopping cart with a broken wheel. III. Purpose: Living According to God’s Blueprint Jeremiah 29:11 – God has a plan filled with hope.
